Integrable two-channel p_x+ip_y-wave superfluid model
We present a new two-channel integrable model describing a system of spinless
fermions interacting through a p-wave Feshbach resonance. Unlike the BCS-BEC
crossover of the s-wave case, the p-wave model has a third order quantum phase
transition. The critical point coincides with the deconfinement of a single
molecule within a BEC of bound dipolar molecules. The exact many-body
wavefunction provides a unique perspective of the quantum critical region
suggesting that the size of the condensate wavefunction, that diverges
logarithmically with the chemical potential, could be used as an experimental
indicator of the phase transition.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Approximated integrability of the Dicke model
A very approximate second integral of motion of the Dicke model is identified
within a broad region above the ground state, and for a wide range of values of
the external parameters. This second integral, obtained from a Born Oppenheimer
approximation, classifies the whole regular part of the spectrum in bands
labelled by its corresponding eigenvalues. Results obtained from this
approximation are compared with exact numerical diagonalization for finite
systems in the superradiant phase, obtaining a remarkable accord. The region of
validity of our approach in the parameter space, which includes the resonant
case, is unveiled. The energy range of validity goes from the ground state up
to a certain upper energy where chaos sets in, and extends far beyond the range
of applicability of a simple harmonic approximation around the minimal energy
configuration. The upper energy validity limit increases for larger values of
the coupling constant and the ratio between the level splitting and the
frequency of the field. These results show that the Dicke model behaves like a
two-degree of freedom integrable model for a wide range of energies and values
of the external parameters.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Second version with added text, references and

Exact solution of the spin-isospin proton-neutron pairing Hamiltonian
The exact solution of proton-neutron isoscalar-isovector (T=0,1) pairing
Hamiltonian with non-degenerate single-particle orbits and equal pairing
strengths (g_{T=1}= g_{T=0}) is presented for the first time. The Hamiltonian
is a particular case of a family of integrable SO(8) Richardson-Gaudin (RG)
models. The exact solution of the T=0,1 pairing Hamiltonian is reduced to a
problem of 4 sets of coupled non linear equations that determine the spectral
parameters of the complete set of eigenstates. The microscopic structure of
individual eigenstates is analyzed in terms of evolution of the spectral
parameters in the complex plane for system of A=80 nucleons. The spectroscopic
trends of the exact solutions are discussed in terms of generalized rotations
in isospace.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Public policies for the Development of a Sustainable, Forage-Based Cattle Sector in Colombia, Argentina, and Costa Rica: A Comparative Analysis
Projected increases in global food demand highlight the importance of Latin America as one of the major future food suppliers, particularly regarding animal-source foods such as beef or milk. Despite the importance of the cattle sector for the region, its negative environmental impacts are numerous and the shift towards sustainability is perceived as slow and uncoordinated. This study aims to identify achievements and difficulties in the implementation of public policies for a sustainable cattle sector in Colombia, Argentina, and Costa Rica, for which policies focused on the use of silvo-pastoral systems and forage-based solutions are prioritized. Based on the review of scientific articles, government reports, and publications of international organizations, a comparative qualitative analysis was carried out, documenting the policy developments between 2010-2020. For the three countries, the findings highlight a large number of public policies focused on the implementation of silvo-pastoral systems, both at the local and national levels. At the same time, the efforts of the governments to include such strategies in the National Development Plans and stimulate legislative advances are evident. However, they also coincide in difficulties, such as the disconnection and lack of continuity between policies, unclear budgets for their financing, and little socialization within the communities. Another obstacle to the success of public policies is the way in which they are perceived by producers, who on many occasions refuse to make the transition from conventional to sustainable methods, considering that it implies the availability of economic resources, knowledge, and training that are difficult to access. The results also indicate that, despite the initiatives developed over the last ten years, problems such as deforestation and increasing greenhouse gas emissions persist in the three countries, although to different extents and at different levels. It is concluded that the policy efforts for the implementation of silvo-pastoral systems should be seen as initial steps in a long-term process towards achieving a sustainable cattle sector. Recommendations are provided that could help increase the success of these and new policies at different stages, from the identification of the problem to their evaluation, particularly given the difficulties of financing, disconnection, and participation of citizens and producers
